not seeing acpid in /etc/rc.d does that mean my system doesnt support it or it wasn't loaded somehow?

#netbsd10 #help #netbsd #laptop

So I have powerd running and I see lots of scripts in there but I'm not sure how to trigger them. My goal is jut to enable sleep state 3 when I close the lid to my laptop.

#powerd #netbsd #netbsd10

Beautiful!! Congrats! :D

Still a totally usable resolution. ;)

> #scrot for screenshots

Yes! See if you can find i3-scrot somewhere. It's a little easier to use. Holler if you can't find it.

> Issues still to address:

Put stuff in ~/.Xsession.
For wallpaper, you can use feh or nitrogen, or just something like Xbackground??? I'm not running X11 on here, so I'm having to go on memory.
Xrandr will write a file that you can source like a shell script, IIRC

> Can't seem to figure out sleep. Closing the laptop lid does nothing.

man zzz or man apm. Search the web for 'suspend when closing lid "NetBSD"'

Gkrellm??

Try alt-drag or super/meta-drag inside a window to see if you can grab and move it past the screen edges. Otherwise consult the WM docs.

Can't seem to figure out sleep. Closing the laptop lid does nothing.

A battery icon or some type of notifier would be nice.

Using Firefox Nightly and sometimes dialogue boxes extend passed the edges of the screen.

I want this on hardware with network support and modern sleep for laptops. I know "Of course it runs NetBSD", but.....does it work well enough on a laptop?

#netbsd10 #netbsd #laptop #runbsd #unix

It's that time of year to go through old HW and see what's still viable.

Threshold: It can boot #netbsd10

First up is a Unifi USG-3P, Cavium CN5020 board. Uniprocessor NetBSD10 (big-endian) runs well.

Also #openbsd 7.6 octeon image looks compelling as an extra switch for my home lab.

I'll make time to load NetBSD-current, and contribute how I can to multiprocessor.

Once again, the BSDs bring new life (and familiar quality) to otherwise unused HW.

Cheers to the BSDs!

Recently bought a refurbished Lenovo T490 off eBay. OpenBSD 7.6 on it good so far. Nice again to have a BSD laptop for home lab work.

This after unfortunate PinebookPro (good Aarch64 #NetBSD10 device, miss it) literally breaking in half! Back cover mounting screws wore, lid mounts had enough leverage to break remaining screws off. Smelled "magic smoke" so not sure what I can salvage :(

Back to BSD amd64 for now, and the Lenovo feels solid.

Ieri avevo un po' di tempo e così ho deciso di provare NetBSD 10 sul ssd interno, sempre sul muletto!

La velocità è aumentata notevolmente da quel che ricordo della versione 9. Ottimo!

Ecco lo screen di rito (NetBSD + i3wm)

P.S. lo so, per quanto riguarda gli sfondi è un periodo così 😂 devo sistemare anche la i3bar ma ieri sera si è fatto tardi 😆

.Sh HISTORY
The original
.Nm cpio
and
.Nm find
utilities were written by Dick Haight
while working in AT&T's Unix Support Group.
They first appeared in 1977 in PWB/UNIX 1.0, the
.Dq Programmer's Work Bench
system developed for use within AT&T.
They were first released outside of AT&T as part of System III Unix in 1981.
As a result,
.Nm cpio
actually predates
.Nm tar ,
even though it was not well-known outside of AT&T until some time later.

Nothing to see here. Just the console for a #NetBSD boot of a panix.com VPS updated to #netbsd10 :)

(Bonus marks for the first person to pick up what I forgot to update from netbsd 9... )

Oops. Just noticed #NetBSD 10.0 was released a few days ago. after 6(!) release candidates.

Took a screenshot of a few things I was trying out with #NetBSD10; the Zabbix dashboard has BSD Raspberry Pi wi-fi interface traffic, or lack thereof.

The Zero 2W won't re-start; card looks good so far. 7 flashes from the mb.
